NOVEL TOWN MEETING'

Tells of Government Attempt
to Help Solve Youth
Problem

There are 5,000,000 unemployed
youth in the United States today
for whom there are no jobs and
who will not, in all probability,
get employment for at least two
years, Ivan G. Monroe, state ad-
ministrator for the NYA, told the
chamber of commerce Monday.

The NYA, although admitting
it has no panacea for the youth
problem, is trying with the funds
it has available — "$100,000,000,
about enough to build one battle-
ship which could easily be sunk
by a floating mine" — to solve the
difficulty, at least in part, Mr.
Monroe said.

First step in its program is to
keep the youth in school since
the schools of the country are
best equipped to handle the prob
lem. To this end, about half of
the NYA funds are made available
to the educational institutions of
the U. S. Newberg high school,
for example, is allotted $5 month-
ly and Pacific college is given $12
per month to pay out to needy
students for work done for the
schools.

In addition to the school pro-
gram, the NYA endeavors to get
industry and other occupations to
absorb as many of the unemployed
youth as possible. For the re-
mainder it endeavors to supply
part-time jobs in their own com-
munities and to offer some sort
of vocational training. t

The Eugene resident project
where 60 boys live cooperatively,
labor half a day on a public work
and go to school half a day, was
cited by the NYA head as a type
of solution to the problem that
is working out well. Present plans
(Continued on page three)

The regular meeting of the
International Relations club was
held Thursday evening.

Plans were laid for the meet-
ing to be held next week. It
was decided to move the meeting
time ahead to 6:30 so that the
group can listed to "The Town
Meeting of the Air," a National
Broadcasting company program
heard each Thursday evening and
featuring a group of authorities
expressing their views on topics
of current interest in world af-
fairs. It is planned to hold a
discussion period following the
broadcast

New High School
Dedicated Mon.

Newberg's long awaited new
high school was officially dedicat-
ed Friday evening.

Governor Charles A. Sprague
gave the main .address of the
evening to a capacity crowd in
the new auditorium of the build-
ing. President Pennington acted
as chairman for the occasion and
introduced the speakers. Other
speakers on the program were R.
E. Renne, superintendent of New-
berg schools; J. L. Rynolds, archi-
tect of the building; H. H. George,
chairman of the board; Mayor
George Layman; D. A. Emerson,
of the state department of educa-
tion; D. L. Gubser, county school
superintendent; F. H. Mclntire,
assistant director, P.W.A., and
Hubert E. Armstrong, principal,
Newberg high school.

Following the program, super-
vised tours were conducted
through the building.

Mrs. Sanders

Y. M. Speaker

Mrs. Sanders led Y. M. last
Wednesday with the woman's
viewpoint of the question "What
would Jesus do on a date in
Newberg?"

She opened her discussion with
the statement that because of the
difference in social customs of
Palestine she didn't believe that
Jesus would have gone on a
date.

Because of that she directed*
her efforts to the question of
what a good date is. The ques-
tion was divided into two divis-
ions, the positive and the nega-
tive. The negative position rep-
resented the characteristics that
seem to be the most obnoxious
to the ladies.

To top off the list is the "glori-
fied egotist" who can talk only
of himself, then the "querying
indeterminist," who is always
asking "what shall we do to-
night?" the "Casey Jones" or
"speed demon," the "Don Juan"
or "Clark Gable" type, the "para-
site" who monopolizes a girl's
time with no serious intentions
whatever, and the "eleventh hour
optimist." Taking things for

'Master Builder'
Plans Well
Under Way

Tickets Now On Sale; Re-
served Seats Are
Available

The work on the student play,
"The Master Builder," is rapidly
progressing under the direction
of Mrs. Sanders.

Mrs. Sanders, Veldon Diment,
and Dean Tate are working on
the publicity for the play. They
plan to send cards to various in-
fluential alumni and mail posters
to the nearby colleges and large
high schools in this vicinity. Also
publicity will be given to the
local papers and the Portland
daily papers. Mrs. Sanders be-
lieves that the fact that this play
is an Ibsen production should at-
tract many students of dramatics
and literature from outlying dis-
tricts.

Most of the local publicity for
the play will be in the form of
posters. Will all of those stu-
dents who are the least bit ar-
tistically inclined please see Mrs.
Sanders or Dean Tate and ar-
rangements will be made whereby
your artistic technique will be put
to a worthwhile endeavor. In
other words, "Don't hide your
talents under a bushel."

The play will be given Decem-
ber 19. Ticket sales will start
in the very near future, and
seats can be reserved at Frink's
bookstore.

SENIORS ORDER

CLASS RINGS, PINS

The Seniors, as optimistic as
ever, ordered class rings, pins,
and graduation announcements
from the Crown Ring Company
of Portland last week.

The rings are gold with Ruby
stones and set with the college
seal. Some members of the class
ordered the pins instead of rings.

Caps and gowns are also to be
obtained from the same company,
with measurements to be taken
sometime before the end of the
semester.

of the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday,

Faculty Enjoys
Thanksgiving

Work and pleasure both were
the occupations of the faculty
members during the Thanksgiving
vacation. President Pennington
and his family entertained Mr.
and Mrs. Sanders and Miss Ken-
dall during Thanksgiving dinner.
In the evening the Sanders, Miss
Kendall and Mr. Binford attend-
ed the Symphony orchestra broad-
cast in Portland. Mr. Binford ate
his Thanksgiving turkey at the
home of E. N. Binford on Cherry
street. Miss Sutton spent Thanks-
giving in the home of her sister
at Scotts Mills and had a very
enjoyable time.

Professor Conover and Profes-
sor Weesner both agreed that
they had plenty to eat on Thanks-
giving but work occupied them
for the rest of the vacation. Mrs.
Ramsey spent her vacation as a
nurse, for most of the members
of her family were ill. Your
writer didn't get in touch with
Professors Skene and Macy, but
if we use our imagination one
might suggest that they didn't
suffer and let's hope the turkey
didn't.

President Pennington enter-

a party Monday evening after
school. Games were played and
refreshments served.

Seniors Spend Day in Capital— Sliding, Staring, Studying

The seniors embarked on what
had all the earmarks of their
annual sneak day, but really was
an educational venture to Salem,
on Tuesday, November 21.

The ultimate end in view for
taking the trip was to acquaint
the Seniors with the headaches
(books to you) that could be
found in the State Library, that
pertained to their individual
thesis subjects.

On arriving at the capital city
the class quickly scattered hither
and yon, leaving Mr. Binford to
play the part of the good shep-
herd. He found one-half of the
feminine portion of the class
standing out in front of the Cap-
itol building with their mouths
agape, staring at the 30 foot
statue of the hardy westerner
atop the building with the most

longing and admiring look in
their eyes imaginable. With his
kind understanding look, the good
shepherd left his two little lambs
engrossed in their trance and en-
tered the capitol determined to
round up some of the wayward
bucks who chose to turn to the
gay life of the big town rather
than press their proboscus to the
emery wheel. After many tries,
he arrived somewhat tired and
weary on the opposite side of
the door from which he start-
ed. But where, oh where,
had his little bucks gone? There
they came, a-sliding down the
wide bannister with the greatest
of glee, and to make a long story
short, he slid them right on over
to the library. Were their faces
red? Oh, my!

After sending out a couple of

flanking parties, consisting of Mr.
Sanders twice, the gleeful Seniors
were Drought together. Then
started the long trek through the
library, starting at the card cata-
logue and ending in the basement.
The building proved to be very
beautiful, with a modern archi-
tectural design, the best material
obtainable used in the interior
decorating, and built by the Pub-
lic Works Administration of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our
Democratic president — I might
add, much to the chagrin of the
Republicans.

The guide was very interest-
ing, educational, and inconsider-
ate of "Crip" Martin's game leg,
who always brought up the rear
with a customary clop, clop, and
a big grin.

(Continued on page four)

According to all reliable sourc-
es, Pacific College will have an
excellent debate team this year.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Sanders are
coaching the team. The follow-
ing students are turning out reg-
ularly every night at 4:00 p. m.:
Helen Robertson, Mary Lou Hos-
kins, Janet Phipps, David Miche-
ner, Bill Thomas, Mark Fantetti,
Galean Miller and Ed Daniels.

On December the ninth, Pacific
will send two men's and two
women's teams to Linfield Col-
lege to debate. The question will
be the standardized question for
all colleges throughout the nation,
which is, Resolved — "That the
United States Should Maintain a
Policy of Strict Isolation, Econom-
ic and Military, Towards All Na-
tions Outside the Western Hemi-
sphere Who Are Engaged in
Armed International or Civil Con-
flict." The debate at Linfield
will be informal with no de-
cision. After the debate, the
Pacific debaters are invited to a
student body play and a ban-
quet.

Mark Fantetti is the only vet-
eran debater from last year's
squad.

President Is

Chapel Speaker

On Monday, November 20, Pres-
ident Pennington spoke in chapel
about the importance of physical
organisms.

He mentioned the value of good
food, cleanliness about ourselves,
and the avoidance of poisons, in
advising good care of the body.

"Look ahead — (foresight is what
will distinguish you from the
lower animals," Dr. Pennington
said in chapel on Monday, Novem-
ber 27.

He advised students to keep an
eye on the eternal future, and to
live in relationship with God.

The best college students are
those who declare that for the
sake of the future they will sub-
ject themselves to the discipline
necessary for that future, the
speaker said.

Speakers' Bureau Will
Be Continued

At a recent meeting of the
faculty a report was made of
the activities of the P. C. Speak-
ers' Bureau. The report was ac-
cepted as favorable and it was
determined to continue the ac-
tivities which were begun tkis
year.

OBVIOUS
OBSERVATIONS

Alice Gulley wishes that who-
ever is interested in her would
hurry and get interested.

Boy! Is Norwood Cunningham
a ROMEO when it comes to chat-
ting with Anita S. in the library.

Well, we see that Fern still
keeps Beese busy or perhaps bus-
ier.

Bill R. seemingly has to take
off a certain luck charm of A. M.
■when it conies to playing ping
pong.

Veldon J. Diment, when asked
if he was married yet, modestly
replied, "No, not as yet. I guess
I am too slow."

Poem

Bales seems to be in standing
With a gal by the name of Man-
ning.

George Thomas should be ap-
pointed minister of propaganda
for domestic relations. One means
George used was the following:
He made a sign which read,
"Fuch's wants to see a STOP
Beese campaign." George took
the sign and held it so the Fern-
Beese combination could see it .
but the trouble was Mr. Binford
saw and then was George's face
red! Ask George for the result.

More power to Jim Webb for
he says he is going to go through
four years of college without a
date.

This news flash just arrived
and though it may seem con-
trary to ot^her items in this col-
umn, nevertheless we must face
the facts; it was both Saturday
evening and Sunday evening that
Miss Fern Nixon and Mark Chap-
man were seen together.

A very nice-looking couple was
Maxine Pearson and George Thom-
as. Although we did not have
the pleasure of viewing them for
the entire evening, I am sure they
enjoyed themselves.

Galen Miller having brought his
car from Portland Saturday night,
did have a nice capacity load of
passengers such as Alice Gulley,
Alfreda Martin, and Ed Daniels.
It is rumored about that Miss Gul-
ley did not take in consideration
the dorm hour.

Strolling along the hi-way to-
wards Portland were Margie Wil-
son and Kenneth Booth when two
humble students asked if they
would like a ride, they replied,
"We're merely out for the exer-
cise."

At the first of the evening Har-
old Hewitt seemingly felt he was
sitting at the wrong table and
quite often he would cast wistful
glances at the table across from
him. However, fate (maybe it
was) removed one of the persons
at the table where Harold w r ished
to sit and thus Harold opened the
door when opportunity knocked.

In Bonnie Jeanne's reading she
complained about not being able
to read the newspaper. No won-
der, after all the lights were out.

To fully verify another item in
this column, this should be read.
George Gwinn and Veldon J. Di-
ment were sitting alone at one of
the tables, then Veldon after a
few minutes of tense waiting, re-
marked, "Well, I guess nobody
loves us."

Bob Sieloff and Ladean Martin
were having a heated debate on
who should take a certain girl
home. From the looks of things,
I guess neither one of them suc-
ceeded in reaching a conclusion.

The fellow who thinks he is a
wit is usually half-right.

Careers Open
For Women

Opportunities for career service for
women are increasing constantly, a study
of government compiled figures on un-
employment of women in clerical posi-
tions reveals, according to Mrs. Adria C.
Beaver, director of studies of thfe Wash-
ington School of Secretaries.

Based on government statistics, Mrs.
Beaver, in a bulletin prepared for stu-
dents of the school in Washington and
the companion school in New York, pre-
dicts that these opportunities will con-
tinue to expand with the development and
improvement of office machinery.

For, according to the figures, the great-
est expansion in office careers for women
as well as men has occurred during the
period when the modern office equipment
was being invented and coming into gen-
eral use.

Mrs. Beaver also finds as a result of
her survey that the improved equipment
of offices has attracted in recent years a
higher type of employe. This improved
condition of the worker, she explained,
is unquestionably due to the persons of
higher education who are being attracted
to office work.

United States census figures are cited
by Mrs. Beaver to show that from 1920
to 1930, the period when office machinery
and equipment was coming into general
use, the number of clerical workers in-
creased by nearly 30 per cent while the

Bruin Jr. is again causing a stir in

The library is becoming quite noisy.
It it supposed to be a place of study and

A Fence Or
An Ambulance

'Twas a dangerous cliff, as they freely
confessed,

Though to walk near its crest was so
pleasant.

But over its terrible edge there had
slipped

A duke and full many a peasant.

So the people said something would
have to be done,

But their projects did not all tally,

Some said, "Put a fence 'round the
edge of the cliff;"

Some, "An ambulance down in the
valley."

But the cry for the ambulance carried
the day,

For it spread through the neighbor-
ing city;

A fence may be useful or not, is true,
But each heart was brimful of pity
For those who slipped over that dan-
gerous cliff;

And the dwellers in highway and val-
ley

Gave pound or gave pence, not to put
up a fence,

But an ambulance down in the valley.

"For the cliff is all right if you're
careful," they said,

"And if folks even slip or are drop-
ping,

It isn't the slipping that hurts them
so much

As the shock down below when they're
stopping."

Then an old sage remarked, "It's a

Student Forum—Can America Stay Neutral?

PRO — Bonnie Jeanne Follette

It is difficult to say, at a time like
this, exactly what our country w r ill or
will not do in regard to the present
European war. So many surprising things
have happened in the last few months
that most of us are at a complete loss
to say what will happen next.

A great many Americans believe the
United States will remain neutral in this
conflict because bitter experience has
taught us how T futile and disastrous a
major war is. It has not been so long
ago that we became involved in a World
War w r hich we were led to believe would
end all wars. Now, disillusioned, we
realize it gained us nothing but debt and
suffering, for Europe again stands at the
brink of a major catastrophe.

This time America must not become
involved in senseless slaughter. This
time America must and will, I believe,
remain aloof from a world struggle.

One thing which strongly indicates
that the United States will remain neutral
is the fact that modern youth realizes
what it faces. The glory and honor of
war is lost in the horror and tragedy in-
volved. Propaganda falls on a deaf ear
as far as the educated boy and girl is
concerned. This is a big item because
so many wars could be prevented if the
people were not propaganda mad. Then
too, America has no positive reason for
entering the war. The present conflict
is not a war against democracy, but sim-
ply a clashing of personal economic in-
terests in Europe. As yet Hitler has
made no demands on the Western Hemi-
sphere and until he does, which is highly
improbable, we have no reason for destroy-
ing life and property.

I believe America can and will remain
neutral.

COX — David Michener

The United States will not remain
neutral —

If a group of perhaps one hundred of
us were to found a Utopian colony on a
far off island on which we might find
everything necessary to our normal func-
tions, and if, on a neighboring island of
which we knew little, two powerful lead-
ers were engaged in a terrible war, neu-
trality would be the only sensible policy
which w r e might adopt and under such
circumstances it would undoubtedly be
entirely feasible. America is not a Shang-
ritha.

Today Europe is engaged in a war,
a struggle which may wipe out all Euro-
pean civilization, and we in America are
faced with the query, "Will America re-
main neutral?" It is the contention of
many that American neutrality will be
the ultimate result of our present poli-
cies, but it is essential that we- analyze
these policies and face the facts as they
stand. .

Everyone must realize that whether
or not the so-called democracies of Eu-
rope really are fighting to preserve de-
mocracy, the people of the United States
w T ill always be partial in thought toward
those nations which are banded against
totalitarianism. Whether we can be neut-
ral in action is of course another question,
but it must depend in part upon the
attitude which we in America adopt to-
ward those engaged in the conflict.

America's interests overseas are mani-
fold. There are political and social, in-
terests born from our heritage of the Old
World. The interests which are now most
menacing to our peace, however, are those
economic footholds which we have gained
in Europe and which are today threatened

Football Frolic
Held Saturday
Evening

One of the many delightful
evenings sponsored this year by
the student body was the foot-
ball frolic honoring our football
heroes which was held in the
library Saturday evening. Chinese
checkers, ping pong, and various
card games furnished the enter-
tainment with a delightful pro-
gram following. The program
consisted of a reading given by
Jeanne Follette, with various
numbers by the quartet and the
Goon Squad. Following the pro-
gram refreshments were served
which climaxed a most enjoyable
evening.

Dear Mousie:

All is alive once more at Kan-
yon Hall. Life has been very
boreing the past week. I'm sure
glad that Thanksgiving comes
only once a year, but this year
it kind of took me by surprise.
I haven't been reading the papers
lately and didn't know that it
was a week earlier. I had plan-
ned on asking you to stay with
me during the vacation because
that is the safest time for country
mice. Everyone came back from
vacation a couple of pounds heavi-
er and I hope' to be gaining some
soon.

While everyone was gone I
decided to hibernate in Irene's
drawer and forgot to set my
alarm. Behold!!! I. over-slept
which almost put an end to Yours
Truly. When Irene opened the
drawer she woke me up and be-
cause I was so irritated I chased
her up on the bed. I was in
Abigail's and Pemmy's room and
it was really a scream to watch
all the girls come after me; and
the weapons they didn't use! One
had a mop, another a broom, and
one even had a World Lit book.

Tuesday nite there was a lot
of noise in the "Eat Again Inn"
and on investigation I found Mrs.
Sanders and 11 of the girls dis-
cussing the bad qualities of the
opposite sex. I attended the Y.
M. meeting and the boys grew
redder as the speech grew bet-
ter.

It is time for me to go now
and investigate where the smell
of popcorn is coming from.

If the date of Xmas isn't
changed I hope you can spend
your vacation with me.

Your cousin,

Dorm Mouse.

sang "God Bless America," after
which there was an opportunity
given for each, who so desired,
to tell of unusual Thanksgivings

Fifty local people are assisting
college officials in sporsoring the
concert which is already attract-
ing widespread interest. An in-

been planned with the intention
of drawing music lovers from
many nearby cities.

Plans for the sale of tickets
are being drawn up and local
people are to be given first chance

better than cure

And their party will soon be
the stronger.

Encourage them, then, with
your purse, voice and pen.

And (while other philanthrop-

They will scorn all pretense and

On the cliff that hangs over

CON — By David Michener

(Continued from page two)

Pacific College hoopsters will
play on a much better floor this
season than in previous years.
That much was assured last Sat-
urday, as workers put a final
coat of floor coating on. The
north half of the floor has new
stringers underneath which as-
sures a much stronger and firmer
floor. New pieces of flooring
were also put in wherever need-
ed. The entire floor was sanded
down smooth, after which a coat
of floor ceiling was put on. New
stripes were painted, adding much
more to the appearance of the
floor.

Other improvements made about
the gym building included patch-
ing the roof, which was badly
need, for when it rained outside
it also rained inside. The south
basket, which was broken during
practice, was welded and is in
good condition. If the gym has

Coach Keller is really pouring it

The women's volleyball team
has been under the same handi-
cap as the basketball team. Even
so, Mrs. Sanders, their coach, will
be able to put a team on the
floor that will give Reed plenty
of trouble on the afternoon of
Dec. 8.

Efforts are still being made to
start a wrestling team. Several
men are interested, but it is
necessary to get the sanction of
the M. A. A. and the faculty.
If they are unable to do this
they want to form a weight-lift-
ing team.

Although Pacific's representa-
tives to the Hill Military Cross
Country Run didn't get any blue
ribbons, they at least finished
the race. Several other men
dropped out and one whole team
was unable to finish. Bill Thom-
as was the star of Pacific's squad,
finishing about 15th in a group
of over 50 entrants. We feel
he did very well considering the
amount of training he was able
to do for the race.

Perhaps this isn't the proper
place for a pep talk but here
goes. We have the makings of
a real basketball squad and it's
up to the student body to get
behind it to the man. It's our
team and if we want it to be
good we've got to support it. It's
a lonely feeling to run out on
the basketball floor and 'nave no
friends or rooters in the stands.
We can be proud of this year's
team, so come on gang, "Let's go,
Pacific."

Mrs. Sanders a sincere vote of

by the conflict abroad. We have
developed extensive markets in
France and Great Britain and to-
day we refuse to relinquish them.
Under our present policy we are
supplying the democracies with
arms and ignoring the totalitarian
nations. This is in itself a vio-
lation of neutrality and would
change our query from "Will the
United States remain neutral?" to
"Is the United States neutral?"
With a growing feeling in Ger-
many that we are being partisan
and with her present practice of
unrestricted marine warfare, we
hesitate to predict what will be
the result of the present situa-
tion but we can remember that
in 1914 we ignored the dangers
of our economic ties with Europe
and today we continue to pay the
price for the last World War.
Seemingly trivial breaches in our
neutrality can lead to conditions
much more serious.

are today a world power. We
cannot escape the responsibilities
which our position offers. Prac-
tical neutrality might have been
possible one hundred or a hun-
dred and fifty years ago, but to-
day it remains a theory for the
idealist and we must face the
realistic fact that under our pres-
ent policies and situation a prac-
tical neutrality is impossible.

Students Will

Enter Contest

Jeanne Follette and Dean Tate,
who placed second and third in
the Old Pulpit extemporaneous
contest, will represent the col-
lege Thursday, December 7, in
the state extemporaneous contest
at Willamette University.

Contestants will chose their
subjects by drawing from a group
of sub-topics, which will have
been selected from the main sub-
jects, "Jesus in the Present Euro-
pean Contest" for women and
"The 1940 Political Pot" for men.
Each envelope will contain the
order of speech and three sub-
jects of which the contestants
will have their choice.

The sub-topics will be chosen
by out-of-town speech coaches.

NOT SO DUMB

A visitor at an asylum was
watching one of the inmates push-
ing a wheelbarrow upside down.

"That's not the way to push
that thing," the visitor exclaimed.
"You've got it upside down."

"Oh, have I?" answered the
lunatic. "I used to push it the
other way and they put bricks in
it."

total population of the country
increased only about 16 per cent.

Even more startling figures
cover the period from 1900 to
1930, when the population gained
about 61 per cent with the num-
ber of clerical workers increas-
ing by more than 300 per cent.

An interesting sidelight on the
particular appeal of office work
to women as a career is shown
by the percentage of stenograph-
ers and typists who were women
in 1870 as contrasted by the per-
centage in 1930. Slightly less
than five per cent of the 1870
stenographers were women, while
in 1930 the percentage was some-
what over 95.

Apparently, says Mrs. Beaver,
these careers were opened up for
women because of, rather than
in spite of, the increased mechan-
ization of office work. Since it
is likely that continued improve-
ment of office equipment will con-
tinue for many years, she reaches
the conclusion that there will be
a continuing and increasing de-
mand for highly educated and
specially trained office workers of
both sexes.

Time out here for lunch.

Time in — everybody's back.

Now, dear reader, please don't
think bad of the Seniors, for
they have very high ideals as
was shown by a few who sat in
the governor's chair to see if it
would fit, just in case.

The afternoon was spent
looking through the catalogue for
books. The story goes (now it
wasn't told to me, I only heard)
that Martin was almost lost for
good when he was back in the
stockroom looking up some books.
It seems as though one of the
girls working, took a fancy to
his crippled leg, his big smile, or
something, and almost vamped
him. Perhaps he used his cane
for a defense — anyway he got
out.

About three o'clock, everyone
having their work done, the home
trip was started. They arrived
back on the campus at four o'-
clock — to live happily ever after.
